Description

We all have our demons. Some of us more than others. This week we delve into two very different kinds of horror as Samm Deighan drops in to check out Demons (aka Shura) (1971) directed by Toshio Matsumoto, followed by Demons (1985) directed by Lamberto Bava. Samurai on the verge of psychotic breakdown and a West Berlin cinema full of badly dubbed weirdos take turns being overrun with demons both psychological and literal. Whichever way you look at it, this world is a sea of blood.



It's not really possible to spoil Demons '85, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Demons '71. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:21:31 mark to avoid spoilers.
